Piling platform

(OP)
Hi
I am still confused with soil data i have to choose for the design of a working platform.
I have 2m of granual improved compacted granular material and cohesive subgrade. Water table is 1m below ground level.
What value do i choose for the granual density:
Bulk unit weight;
Saturated;
Submerged;
Please help me out

RE: Piling platform

I would speak with your geotechnical engineer.  He/she should be familiar enough with the soils and situation to guide as to what to use in your situation.  If not, then find another more competent geotech.

- EIT Geotechnical Engineer. I am here hoping to help, and learn a little along the way.
